So you love to cook? Is treating guests to your home made delicacies a thing of joy for you? If you are not a professional chef for the lack of a hotel degree, but your fans are convinced you are no less than one, then that’s good enough! Then you are among a growing set of people who love to cook and present their specialities to those who appreciate food that’s outside the purview of a commercial menu. Home chef is the new buzz word and a happening community in the world of feasting, treating, menu planning and hosting.

This community of home chefs have been surprising food lovers in many states and regions. The speciality of these chefs and their get-togethers is that one gets to taste something unique each time they sign for one. However, some home chefs are not able to host guests for lack of a proper hosting options. Sometimes the sheer thought of the preparation tires one out; add to this, unreliable house helps, shortage of water, power fluctuations etc are serious challenges. Now these issues seems to be a thing of the past with Feazt opening a Culinary Lounge. A lounge where you can cook to host your own party, host your custom made party with the chef from any corner of the country and treat your guests to the most unheard of exotic tribal dish with unique ingredients. The possibilities are many provided one is ready to spend that extra penny for an exquisite meal. With the idea of taking social dining to the next level, Feazt Culinary lounge comes equipped with state of the art inbuilt kitchen appliances including built-in hoods, hobs, ovens, microwave oven and refrigerators. .

How does the Culinary Studio work? It is as simple as hosting your private dinner with the luxury of your choice of chef and cuisine. One can choose from the glossary of chefs Feazt has or the host is also at will to pick their own from any part of the country. ‘All to be paid by the host.’

Feazt that started as a ‘Pay and eat’ concept in 2014, gained popularity through social media network groups. Once the idea caught up in the city, it kept hobby chefs busy hosting lunch/dinner at homes. The new method of dining out offers a win-win solution for both diners and chefs. With the increase in number of hobby chefs and pop up kitchens, Feazt stands apart in the market is the technology platform which gives information on dinners and lunches and experience, apart from just lip-smacking food. Feazt may be best described as a common ground where people meet over amazing food at homes. “It is a community marketplace to explore local cultures, authentic cuisines and build beautiful bonds with people over delicious meals. Feazt creates a unique dining experience. It’s Social Dining,” says Gopi Krishna Kishore Byluppala, who founded the Hyderabad-based company Feazt. He wants it to be a platform for cross pollination of cultures and rituals. Since Feazt aspired to be a gateway to the world; to explore cultures, traditions, authentic food and build beautiful relations Gopi felt a studio kitchen would work the best. “Feazt helped me bring all talented chefs, hobby/home chefs, travellers, food lovers, networkers onto a single window and that enabled us to build the network for the Culinary studio,” says Gopi.

Having been brought up in a huge joint family, festivals and dinners were no fun without a group, says Gopi. “It might not be possible to do it everyday, but over weekends everyone wants to be a part of a family or a gathering and this is where Feazt comes in handy,” he smiles.
